SUMMARY
Lahmann's central theoretical monograph, first published 1891 (year and original title per Neue Deutsche Biographie, source `deutsche-biographie-lahmann`); the exact title wording and a later (17th, 1907) edition are confirmed directly from the Google Books catalog record fetched 2026-07-08, which gives the parenthetical 'Dysämie' in the title, 249 pages, and a Harvard University source copy. The book is the primary-source statement of the claim that faulty diet produces an abnormal ('dyscrasic') composition of the blood, which in turn corrupts all body tissue and is thereby the fundamental cause of disease. That the book reached at least a 17th edition by 1907 evidences a wide paying readership well beyond the sanatorium's own clientele.
NOTES

Primary source: Lahmann’s own book stating the ‘dietetic blood dyscrasia’ theory that is the vague/surrogate mechanism at the center of this case. Cited for the claim text and for the book’s multi-edition commercial reach.
